[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5297781, member: 91608"] The casual quoting and ignoring context is very disturbing as well ;-) Why on earth any of those would be sexist is, frankly beyond me. Let me elaborate: "There is NO worse player than the DM's girlfriend or wife." - because they are in relationship, which causes the DM to be overly protective of her, and ignore some of mishavs. Nobody wants to screw up a relationship over a game. "heh. Never works. I gamed with a couple where the wife deliberately sabotaged everything we did, then would giggle and smile at us about it." - So. A woman giggled. Which according to your outrage apparently insinuates that [B]all[/B] women giggle while playing. "You see, too many women are not satisfied with anything other than she must be her man's only world, and will do whatever she can to disrupt anything else the man does." I can somehow see how that would be a tad sexist, what with overly protectiveness and jealousy working both ways. If not for a little part, where it's posted in [B]this[/B] thread. It's perfectly normal in this context. Were I to say that "You see, too many men are not satisfied with anything other than he must be his woman's only man, and will do whatever he can to disrupt anything else she does with groups of male friends.", does that make me [B]double[/B] sexist? "I always got the impression that most women [B]hate[/B] other women guts, and their cheerfulness to each-other rises exponentially with amount of ill will." - and would you care to read the post I was referencing to? As we don't know the player, we were using stereotypes, both positive and negative yes. And I'm sorry, but from my experience it's fairly common. I've no idea if it's really true or not, nor what causes it, but it's what I see all around. For reference: "The casual sexism and outright misogyny in this thread is kinda disturbing, guys." - oh, so you're saying that only guys can be sexist? Misandrist!
